Notes
'Radiant Pink' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Radiant Pink') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The fragrant pink double flowers open in mid to late spring and early summer. Stems usually stand on their own, but a support keeps the plant tidy. Swenson Gardens bred it in 2018.
Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Cinnamon fern, and Scentara Double Blue lilac.
